Letter 4393

Yesterday I awoke, and knew great things would happen today. I would succeed.

The day ended as it began, with the sun on the horizon and me quietly in my rooms. Little had changed.

The prior day I awoke, frightened over the calamity sure to befall. That day ended without tragedy.

❖

Today I awaken in my room. I can grasp equanimity if only I can see clearly. The day is marching forward.

---

Consider:

Can I see without self-deception?
